PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information concern-
ing the following systems.
.Driver and passenger supplemental front-
impact air bag (NISSAN Advanced Air Bag
System)
. Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag
. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and roll-
over supplemental air bag
. Seat belt with pretensioner
Supplemental front-impact air bag system:
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System can
help cushion the impact force to the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger in certain
frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system: This system can help
cushion the impact force to the chest and pelvis
area of the driver and front passenger in certain
side impact collisions. The supplemental side air
bag is designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system: This
system can help cushion the impact force to the head of occupants in front and rear (2nd and
3rd) outboard seating positions in certain side
impact or rollover collisions. In a side impact, the
curtain air bags are designed to inflate on the
side where the vehicle is impacted. In a rollover,
the curtain air bags on both sides are designed
to inflate. Under both side-impact and rollover
situations, the curtain air bags will remain
inflated for a short period of time.
These supplemental restraint systems are de-
signed to
supplement the crash protection
provided by the driver and passenger seat belts
and are not a substitute for them. Seat belts
should always be correctly worn and the
occupant seated a suitable distance away from
the steering wheel, instrument panel and door
finishers. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-18) for instruc-
tions and precautions on seat belt usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the systems are operational.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM

1-54Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
far-away as practical from the steer-
ing wheel or instrument panel. Al-
ways use the seat belts.
. The driver and front passenger seat
belt buckles are equipped with
sensors that detect if the seat belts
are fastened. The Advanced Air Bag
System monitors the severity of a
collision and seat belt usage then
inflates the air bags. Failure to
properly wear seat belts can in-
crease the risk or severity of injury
in an accident.
. The front passenger seat is
equipped with occupant classifica-
tion sensors (weight sensors) that
turn the front passenger air bag
OFF under some conditions. This
sensor is only used in this seat.
Failure to be properly seated and
wearing the seat belt can increase
the risk or severity of injury in an
accident. See “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-60) .
. Keep hands on the outside of the
steering wheel. Placing them inside
the steering wheel rim could in-
crease the risk of injury if the front air bag inflates.

.If a forward facing child restraint is
installed in the front passenger
seat, do not position the front
passenger seat so the child restraint
contacts the instrument panel. If the
child restraint does contact the in-
strument panel, the system may
determine the seat is occupied and
the passenger air bag may deploy in
a collision. Also the front passenger
air bag status light may not illumi-
nate. See “Child restraints” (P.1-31)
for information about installing and
using child restraints.
. Confirm the operating condition
with the front passenger air bag
status light.
. If you notice that the front passen-
ger air bag status light is not
operating as described in this sec-
tion, it is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer to check the passen-
ger seat Advanced Air Bag System.
. Until you have confirmed with your
dealer that your passenger seat
advanced air bag is working prop-
erly, position the occupants in the
rear seating positions. This vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN
Advanced Air Bag System for the driver and
front passenger seats. This system is designed
to meet certification requirements under U.S.
regulations. It is also permitted in Canada.
All of
the information, cautions and warnings in
this manual apply and must be followed.
The driver supplemental front-impact air bag is
located in the center of the steering wheel. The
passenger supplemental front-impact air bag is
mounted in the instrument panel above the glove
box. The front air bags are designed to inflate in
higher severity frontal collisions, although they
may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of a higher severity
frontal impact. They may not inflate in certain
frontal collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is
not always an indication of proper front air bag
operation.
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System moni-
tors information from the Air bag Control Unit
(ACU) , seat belt buckle sensors and the
occupant classification sensors (weight sen-
sors) . Inflator operation is based on the severity
of a collision and seat belt usage for the driver.
For the front passenger, the occupant classifi-
cation sensors are also monitored. Based on
information from the sensors, only one front air
bag may inflate in a crash, depending on the
crash severity and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted. Additionally, the front
passenger air bag may be automatically turned
OFF under some conditions, depending on the
information provided by the occupant classifica-
tion sensors. If the front passenger air bag is
OFF, the front passenger air bag status light will
be illuminated (if the seat is unoccupied, the
light will not be illuminated, but the air bag will
be off) . (See “Front passenger air bag and
status light” (P.1-60) for further details.) One
front air bag inflating does not indicate improper
performance of the system.
If you have any questions about your air bag
system, it is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer to obtain information about the system. If
you are considering modification of your vehicle
due to a disability, you may also contact
NISSAN. Contact information is contained in
the front of this Owner’s Manual.
When a front air bag inflates, a fairly loud noise
may be heard, followed by release of smoke.
This smoke is not harmful and does not indicate
a fire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it
may cause irritation and choking. Those with a
history of a breathing condition should get fresh
air promptly.
Front air bags, along with the use of seat belts,
help to cushion the impact force on the head
and chest of the front occupants. They can help
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-59

1-60Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
save lives and reduce serious injuries. However,
an inflating front air bag may cause facial
abrasions or other injuries. Front air bags do
not provide restraint to the lower body.
Even with NISSAN advanced air bags, seat
belts should be correctly worn and the driver
and passenger seated upright as far as practical
away from the steering wheel or instrument
panel. The front air bags inflate quickly in order
to help protect the front occupants. Because of
this, the force of the front air bag inflating can
increase the risk of injury if the occupant is too
close to, or is against, the air bag module during
inflation.
The front air bags deflate quickly after a collision.
The front air bags operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the system is operational.
SSS1099Front passenger air bag status light
Front passenger air bag and status light
WARNING
The front passenger air bag is designed
to automatically turn OFF under some
conditions. Read this section carefully
to learn how it operates. Proper use of
the seat, seat belt and child restraints is
necessary for most effective protection.
Failure to follow all instructions in this
manual concerning the use of seats,
seat belts and child restraints can
increase the risk or severity of injury inan accident.
Status light:
The front passenger seat is equipped with the
occupant classification sensors (weight sen-
sors) that turn the front passenger air bag on or
off depending on the weight applied to the front
passenger seat. The status of the front passen-
ger air bag (ON or OFF) is indicated by the front
passenger air bag status light
which is
located on the instrument panel. After the
ignition switch is placed in the ON position,
the front passenger air bag status light on the
instrument panel illuminates for about 7 seconds
and then turns off or illuminates depending on
the front passenger seat occupied status.
The light operates as follows:
. Unoccupied passenger seat: The
light
is OFF and the front passenger air bag is
OFF and will not inflate in a crash.
. Passenger seat occupied by a small adult,
child or child restraint as outlined in this
section: The
light illuminates to indicate
that the front passenger air bag is OFF and
will not inflate in a crash.
. Occupied passenger seat and the passen-
ger meets the conditions outlined in this
section: The
light is OFF to indicate that

.A child restraint or other object pressing
against the rear of the seatback.
. A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the
back of the front passenger seat.
. Forcing the front seat or seatback against an
object on the seat or floor behind it.
. An object placed under the front passenger
seat.
. An object placed between the seat cushion
and center console.
If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stop
when it is safe to do so. Check and correct any
of the above conditions. Restart the vehicle and
wait 1 minute.
NOTE:
A system check will be performed during
which the front passenger air bag status
light will remain lit for about 7 seconds
initially.
If the light is still OFF after this, the small adult,
child or child restraint should be repositioned in
the rear seat and it is recommended that the
vehicle be checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon
as possible.Other supplemental front-impact air bag
precautions
WARNING
. Do not place any objects on the
steering wheel pad or on the instru-
ment panel. Also, do not place any
objects between any occupant and
the steering wheel or instrument
panel. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause
injury if the front air bags inflate.
. Do not place objects with sharp
edges on the seat. Also, do not
place heavy objects on the seat that
will leave permanent impressions in
the seat. Such objects can damage
the seat or occupant classification
sensors (weight sensors) . This can
affect the operation of the air bag
system and result in serious perso-
nal injury.
. Do not use water or acidic cleaners
(hot steam cleaners) on the seat.
This can damage the seat or occu-
pant classification sensors. This can
also affect the operation of the air
bag system and result in serious personal injury.
. Immediately after inflation, several
front air bag system components
will be hot. Do not touch them; you
may severely burn yourself.
. No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring
of the supplemental air bag system.
This is to prevent accidental infla-
tion of the supplemental air bag or
damage to the supplemental air bag
system.
. Do not make unauthorized changes
to your vehicle’s electrical system,
suspension system or front end
structure. This could affect proper
operation of the front air bag sys-
tem.
. Tampering with the air bag system
may result in serious personal in-
jury. Tampering includes changes to
the steering wheel and the instru-
ment panel assembly by placing
material over the steering wheel
pad and above the instrument panel
or by installing additional trim ma-
terial around the air bag system.
